Under the Veil of Night
In the City of Crime, one law stands above them all: Only the strongest can live. Fighting is normal, extortion is common, and death is inevitable. Born into a wealthy family yet forced to live in poverty, Kanae Nali vowed to become strong enough to take back what rightfully belonged to her—even if it meant that she had to face the consequences and brave the dangers lurking in every corner. Yet on the outside, just like her mysterious peers, she was no different from the other high school students living their lives to the fullest. “Under the ray of light, my ability will only make me die faster. Under the veil of night, my ability allows me to survive longer.” ____ Story set in fictional city. Any similarities with real world's event is purely coincidence.

"Will you take her to the test tomorrow?"
A man turned around when he heard a woman's voice. Standing not far from him with her hand crossed was his wife. He smiled bitterly. "Even if we're part of the scientists there, do you think it'll be possible for us to pull some strings in order not to let our children be tested?"
"Well…" The woman pursed her lips. "I just don't want Kanae to be in trouble."
The man, Kanae's Father, sighed. "Based on the test result she got after her birth, she has slightly higher talent. You know that anyone with that result has to be tested again for the second time."
The woman, Kanae's Mother, looked at her husband for a moment before she turned around. Slowly, she walked out of the room to the large corridor. There were several rooms there, and she could hear the sound of two young children laughing happily.
